Technical FAQs 4

How much of Cuba's electricity is imported?

This is what the official figures show, according to which 96% of electricity in Cuba depends on fossil fuels, most of it imported. In 2018, the most recent year for which statistics are available, the country imported 54% of the energy carriers it used, accentuating its vulnerability in the face of international shocks.

Why is Cuba importing oil from Mexico and Russia?

However, political and economic troubles in Venezuela caused oil exports to Cuba to fall by about half, resulting in Cuba increasingly seeking oil imports from Mexico and Russia. Cuba has worked with India, the Indian-based International Solar Alliance, and China to develop renewable energy projects.

Does Cuba rely on fossil fuels?

Cuba’s power system is currently heavily reliant on fossil fuels. In 2022, fossil fuels accounted for about 95% of electricity generation, and about 48% of the fossil fuels used were imported, putting the country at high risk of price shocks and supply shortages.

What does the EDF report tell us about Cuba's electric grid?

The report builds on a previous report published by EDF in 2017. That report, similar to this one, provided information on Cuba’s electric grid and recommended paths forward.
